Select the relevant Category

System: these are the hard-coded wage types relating to tax and leave wage types. No changes should be made to the configuration of wages within this category

Base Salary: these are hard-coded wage types relating to salaried employees. Employees who have a work pattern and are on an annual salary are linked to wage type 1000 (Basic Pay – Period), this wage type can only be renamed in the User Description if required

Time Based Payment: these are wage types which enable hours to be entered, for example Overtime or Additional Hours Worked, and leave can accrue on these wage types

Recurring Payment: these are wage types which enable fixed amounts to be entered, for example Bonus, Commission or Higher Duties Allowance, and leave cannot accrue on these wage types

Deduction: no further deductions can be created, instead Vendors will need to be created and linked to an existing deduction when assigned to an employee, for example the Post Tax deduction can be linked to a Loan Vendor or the Pre-Tax deduction can be linked to a Novated Lease Vendor

Once the relevant Wage Type had been selected, there are two methods of adding wage types to a company
